Provenance

Where it came from

Tangrowth (8/147) was released in the Burning Shadows expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in August 2017. This set was part of the Sun & Moon series, drawing inspiration from the Pokémon Sun and Moon video games set in the Alola region. The set is notable for its focus on the Necrozma storyline and the introduction of GX cards, which shifted the competitive landscape of the game toward high-risk, high-reward mechanics.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his dynamic, vibrant depictions of creature movement. In this piece, Tangrowth is illustrated in a lush, tangled environment that emphasizes its vine-based anatomy. As a non-GX Rare, the card functions as a secondary support piece within the set's broader mechanical framework, designed primarily for deck-building versatility rather than the marquee status of the set’s legendary Pokémon.
